Blue Seal

Branch of the ever-popular ice cream chain in Nagaoka

Blue Seal lovers don't have to go all the way to Okinawa to get their ice cream fix, since there are quite a few branches in other parts of Japan. If you're in the Nagaoka area, this branch at the Teradomari Market is worth stopping into. I'm partial to the chinsuko (Okinawan salt cookie) flavor, but they have a good lineup of other ones such as mango, pineapple coconut, and almond pistachio to name just a few.
